Thanks.

Agreed.

I wonder if we should add a CI task to test creating a tarball and building
from it, both inside the source directory and as a vpath build? We rebuild for
both gcc and clang, each with assertions and without, to check if there are
warnings. We could probably just switch to building from the tarball for some
of those.

I guess I need to go and check how long the "release" tarball generation
takes...
